Something to pass the time till baseball starts. If you could have any boat you wanted, be it an upgrade to what you currently have or something completely new. Price is not an issue, but you have to be able to use the boat, pay for gas, storage if needed, crew if needed, and you cannot sell it for a profit. For example someone living in Arizona making $50k could not afford a 130’ yacht. What would you choose and why.

I currently have a small aluminum duck boat, a bow rider and access to a 20’ bay boat. Living on the water with 2 small kids something like this would be a nice addition. We could use it year round and load up with a group for a party. The boat is big enough to cruse the Gulf coast for a weekend. Diesel would be a little steep, but manageable if I didn’t have it out every weekend.

That boat is either a bluewater or a harbor master, I can't tell from the pic but either are shite for a boat. Just not well made.

For me I'd love to have a Yellowfin 39 offshore.

Right now, with what I could afford to upkeep/pay gas for as a brokedick college student, and what I do, it would be an 18' gator trax custom built with one of the big arse mud buddy surface drives. Removable bow fishing platform, tiller steer for more floor space, extended deck in the front, rid box, all the extra custom shite I could want.

Something similar will probably be the first boat I buy once I have a job and can afford it.

It is, the design and layout is what I like. I won't be running to the store to buy one, so construction is a moot point...

Probably a 22' pathfinder. I really want an allison, but its just so much less practical than a good bay boat.

My choice would have to be one of the newest top of the line bass boats. Not sure exactly which one I would go with right now but if I had the money to spend I am sure it wouldnt take me too long to make a decision.

Yeah, style isn't the big consideration up here since people aren't impressed by that stuff.. That thing is sweet though, costs 100k. I could live on that thing.
